Many opportunities to create a more just community and world are available to students. The church's tradition of Catholic Social Ethics, a consistent ethic of life, and the CSJ charisms provide the framework for the opportunities and emphases of our Social Justice program.

The Walk for Life--West Coast takes place each January and is a pro-life march through the streets of San Francisco. This year our CHS marchers will march in honor of Ms. Barberini, one of the original founders of the West Coast march.

The annual Fontbonne Forum in February honors the re-foundress of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Mother Fontbonne. It is an all school opportunity for students to voice their insights and for our faith to engage our American culture. Contact Dr. Murphy or Mr. Kjera for more information about this forum and how you can become involved.

Juniors have the opportunity to experience first hand the plight of the homeless through a one day Urban Plunge immersion experience at St. Anthony's in San Francisco. Each plunge is scheduled in conjunction with a Carondelet religion class.

Each October twelve upperclasswomen from Carondelet travel to Salinas, CA with twelve De La Salle students to work at a Dorothy Day house of hospitality for the homeless, to tutor and play with children of migrant farm workers, and to work on a farm crew harvesting vegetables. Applications to be part of this immersion trip experience are available in the Campus Ministry office at the start of the school year.
